Quinntana FanFiction: Can't Stay Away From You
Chapter 14: Try Harder
Santana woke up and realized that Quinn wasnt by her side. She didnt have a job to go to or any classes to attend. She had nothing to do today. She got up, and ate breakfast. But her mind kept going back to Quinn. All about Quinn. How she woke up to her face. How she fed breakfast to her. How they snuggled on the couch and watched tv. Santana had to find something to keep her mind off of Quinn so she decided to go job hunting.
She applied for a few coffee shops and a few retail stores. But nothing really fit her. She just kept walking around because she had nothing to go home to. Just as she was about to turn and go back, a small restaurant caught her eye. There was a "Now Hiring" sign on the front. Santana walked in and waited for someone to approach her.
"How can I help you ma'am?" asked this girl with brown hair.
"Yes. I saw a "Now Hiring" sign out front and I was wondering if I can take the position" said Santana.
"Sure. You start tomorrow. Be here at 7:00 am. I suggest you wear casual clothes and comfortable footwear" said the girl.
"Wait. I got the job? Don't I need an interview first or something?" asked Santana.
"I've had that sign up for a while but no one has ever came in and asked about it. So Im taking whoever is willing to work for it. By the way, Im your manager and you can call me Jane" said Jane.
"Thank you. I'll be here tomorrow. My name is Santana" said Santana.
"Nice to meet you Santana. I look forward to working with you" said Jane. Santana took a look around before she left. She had a feeling that she was going to enjoy working here. On her way home, she decided to text Quinn about the good news.
"Hey Q! I got a job! I didnt even have to apply for it. She just hired me when I asked about it" sent Santana.
She got back to the loft and Brittany was teaching Rachel some dance techniques. Santana watched and realized how much she loved to dance too.
"Hey, can I join you guys?" asked Santana.
"Yeah, sure you can" said Brittany.
"I didnt know you liked to dance" said Rachel.
"Yeah. I took classes when I was little" said Santana.
"Plus, remember those dance duets we did for glee?" asked Brittany.
"Yeah, I still remember" said Santana.
They spent two hours of dancing before they decided to stop. Santana checked her phone and nothing. No reply, no call from Quinn. She was kind of sad because she wanted Quinn to say at least something back. "Maybe shes just busy" thought Santana.
"Hey Santana. In NYADA, we have extension dance classes for people who arent attending NYADA but want to learn how to dance. You should think about joining" said Rachel.
The next morning, Santana woke up early to get to her job on time. She walks in and Jane is already waiting for her.
"Today, you start training. I'll be training you because Im the best" said Jane. She meant it as a joke but Santana didnt want to take any chances.
"Im sure you are" said Santana.
Jane showed her how to greet customers and take their orders. She also showed her how to submit the order and how to serve the customer. Santana also met some of her co-workers. They were all friendly and easy to get along with. After a long day of training, Santana was released to go. While walking back, she thought about what Rachel told her. NYADA was a block away from her work place. She decided to go and sign up for those classes. They start two hours after she finishes work. But she was going to start the next day.
Quinn didnt reply back to her previous text so Santana decided to call.
"Hi Babe! Whats up?" said Quinn.
"Hey! I wanted to tell you that I applied to some dance classes at NYADA" said Santana.
"Thats great San! Look, I wish I can talk longer but I have a class to go to" said Quinn.
"Okay. Can we Skype later on?" asked Santana.
"Yeah. I'll try" said Quinn. And then she hung up. Santana frowned her whole way back home because it sucks when Quinn barely has time to talk to her.
Santana got back to the loft and ate dinner. She went online to check her email while she waited for Quinn to go online. Santana waited for an hour but no Quinn. She was about to go to sleep but her phone rang.
"Hey babe. Im sorry. I got caught up in studying and I forgot" said Quinn.
"I feel like Im the only one whos trying to make this long distance work" said Santana.
"I know. Im just really busy. Im trying San" said Quinn.
"Try harder" said Santana before she hung up. Quinn kept calling but Santana ignored them. She didnt want to talk to Quinn anymore if shes not making any effort to talk to her.
It was a Saturday so Santana got up late. She had 10 missed calls from Quinn. Just as she finished eating breakfast with the others, there was a knock on the door. There stood a person with a bouquet of flowers.
"Delivery for Santana Lopez" said a familiar voice. Santana recognized the voice and walked away.
"San. Please talk to me. Im sorry" said Quinn as she set the flowers on the kitchen table.
"Oh, now you have time to talk" hissed Santana.
"Ive been busy. You wont understand because you arent in school" said Quinn.
"Yeah. Im not in school. But I have a job and I applied for dance classes after. Its like the same thing and I still manage to try to call you" said Santana.
"Yeah. I guess it is. Im sorry" said Quinn.
"Its like you dont even want this anymore" said Santana.
"I do, San. Believe me. I cant focus in class because my mind always goes to you. I've been busy because Im trying to catch up with my assignments. I spent yesterday finishing all of my homework so I can be here with you today" said Quinn.
"Im sorry. I just get lonely and you dont reply to my texts or you barely have time to talk" said Santana.
"I know. I promise. I'll try harder. But for now, can we stop bickering and enjoy each others company?" said Quinn.
"Okay" said Santana as they cuddled back in bed.
